PORTABLE WARDROBE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 352.994, dated November 23, 1886.

Application filed April 2e, 1886.

To (ZZZ whom it map concern).-

Be it known that I, PRISCILLA O. J OHNSON, a resident of Indianapolis, Indiana, have made certain new and useful Improvementsin PortableNVardrobes, a description of which is set forth in the following specification, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, in the several figures of which like letters represent like parts.

My invention consists of a portable wardrobeone.that can be readily taken to pieces when desired, or moved about complete, and at thesame timeprotectclothing from dust and dirt, and'will be understood from the follow ing description.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my device with the curtain closed up. Fig. 2 is a similar view with the curtain thrown up upon the top of the wardrobe, revealingtheinteriorarrangement. Fig. 3 is an under side view of the top, showing the dered to enter acorresponding opening in the base below, and upon the top of this standard is mounted a frame-work, f, havingcross-arms 1 2 3 4, to which are attached suitable hooks, h, from whichclothing is suspended. A curtain, 0, is conveniently fastened around the upper frame-work, f, so as to completely cover the top and sides of the wardrobe, and en- Serial No. 199.878. [No model.)

The base b may-be raised to any desired height from the floor, and is intended to serve also as a shelf upon which to deposit boxes,

shipment or removal; or they may be put together securely by means of glue or screws. The curtain may be made-very ornamental by embroidery or ornament, and when properly constructed is cheap and convenient.

I am aware that portable wardrobes have heretofore been known and used; andI am also aware of the device used as a moth-protector, shown in Letters Patent to Voigt, October 3, 187l, and of those shown-in the Letters Patent to Richards, June 19, 1 883, and to Mack, December 14, 1869, and disclaim the inventions therein shown and described.

\Vhat I do claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is the following:

In a portable wardrobe, the base to serve as a shelf, the standard 3, secured in such base, and supporting the frame-work f upon or near its top, the hooks h, connected with such top frame, and the curtain c, for inclosing the same, all combined substantiallyas described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 16th day of April, 1886.

PRISGILLA O. JOHNSON.
